(Jean's P.O.V.)
1 week has passed since Demona and Xanatos attacked us. I, along with Goliath and his clan, and Elisa, Steve, and Natasha were fighting some mutants, possibly sent by Erik.
Also a new villain called the Vulture was seen being chased by some two new heroes, and I didn't know who they were, but Brooklyn, along with Lexington, and Tony were chasing the Vulture.
(Penny's P.O.V.)
I and my brother were fighting the Vulture..Well, my brother was fighting him as I had to stop a bunch of rocks from falling over on some people, and I used my spiderweb to stop the rocks from falling.
"All of you get to safety!", I shouted, and they did what I told them. I then heard a noise above me, and I saw that the rocks were about to fall over me. "Oh shit!", I cursed out loud as I tried to run, but then a rock fell on top of my foot, and I cried out in pain as I tried to get myself free.
"Penny!", Peter shouted in dismay and horror as he tried to go over to me and help me, but the Vulture wouldn't let him. I saw the rocks start to fall, and I closed my eyes, waiting for them to hit me when I felt someone grab me and carry me in their arms, and it also felt like we were flying.
"Hey, you can open your eyes now.", I heard a voice say, and I then opened my eyes to see a...Gargoyle! He had red skin, white hair, and a long beak. "Who are you?", I asked curiously and awe.
"My name is Brooklyn, and what's yours?", Brooklyn asked with a wide smile. "Penny Parker.", I said quietly. "Nice to meet you, Penny.", Brooklyn said with a warm nod.
"Shit, he got away!", I saw Ironman curse as the Vulture flew away. "Well, let's take you and your brother to the Avengers Tower.", Brooklyn said with a grin.
(Jean's P.O.V.)
We were all back at the Avengers Tower, waiting for Tony, Brooklyn, and Lexington to come back. They soon came back with some teens.
"Tony, who are they?", Elisa asked curiously. "This is Peter Parker and his twin sister, Penny.", Tony said with a smile after he got his suit removed in a flash.
"Hi, you all must be the Avengers.", Peter said with a nervous yet excited look. "And the Gargoyles from the sightings.", Penny said with a smug grin.
Tony and Brooklyn explained to us how they found these two fighting the Vulture, and how Brooklyn saved Penny as it turns out that Peter and his twin sister, Penny have powers. They explained to us how they both were bitten by a spider, which gave them their abilities, and I was a bit amazed to see them climb up the walls and shoot spider webs.
Peter's codename is Spider-man, and Penny's codename is Spider Girl. "Well, if you two are going to be superheroes and fighting alongside us, you are going to need new suits, and new weapons.", Tony said with a wide grin, and the twins cheered happily before they tackled Tony who yelped in surprise.
I smiled with a giggle at the twins hugging Tony with joy and excitement. The whole night, I saw Brooklyn talking with Penny, and I had a feeling that those two were going to get along just well.
2 days have passed, and I was in my room. The team had wanted me to take a rest as I and Goliath were the only ones in the Avengers Tower. As I was sleeping, I started to hear a voice in my head, and it wasn't Charles's voice at all.
Jean, you have more than telepathy and telekinesis. The voice told me,and it sounds like a male. Who are you? I asked warily, using my telepathy.
You will find out soon enough. The voice said, sounding smug. You have magic as well, Jean. The very same power I had. The voice told me with a matter of fact tone.
I was then thrashing around in my bed, and I didn't notice my hands glowing a fiery aura. Stop. I said, getting a bit scared. Use it. The voice said with a hiss of frustration and a hint of anger.
"STOP!", I shouted as I woke up, and then I saw that I had launched something at a carpet. I gasped in fear as I thought the carpet would burn, but to my shock, I saw the carpet start to float.
I got off my bed, and I walked over to it, slowly touching it. "Whoa, that voice said I have magic, but what did he mean, the same one he had?", I asked myself in confusion as I looked at the flying carpet.
I then heard the door to my room open, and I saw Goliath run inside. "Jean, are you okay? I heard you shout.", Goliath asked frantically in worry. "Sorry, it's just that I had a strange dream.", I said softly.
"What did you dream?", Goliath asked me curiously. "Well, I was hearing this voice talk to me, and he told me to use..my magic. When I woke up, I accidentally launched a spell..at the carpet, and now it's a magic carpet.", I explained sheepishly.
He noticed the magic carpet, and gasped slightly, "That's incredible...". I giggled slightly at his gobsmacked look. "I'm going to have to ask Light as she knows magic more than I do, and she can teach me.", I said with a thoughtful nod as I walked over to the magic carpet.
I remembered seeing Aladdin when I was a little girl, and I have always wanted to ride a carpet like this, and I knew this was my chance. "Goliath, how about we go on a ride?", I asked with a grin.
"First time I heard that.", Goliath chuckled lightly, and then nodded. I then got on the carpet, and to my amazement, I didn't fall. "Do you know how to work it?", Goliath asked a bit nervously as he joined me on the way out of my room, across the living room.
"I can use my telekinesis to steer it.", I said with a smile. I then used my powers. and then I was outside flying with Goliath. We were flying alongside each other, and then I felt that something was missing. I then took out my phone, and I started to play a familiar song.
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
"Jean, what song is this?", Goliath asked curiously. "It's called A Whole New World. It's from one of my favorite Disney movies when I was a little girl.", I said with a whimsical grin.
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
"I have to admit, it's such a beautiful song.", Goliath said with a warm smile. I blushed lightly as I smiled.
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us, "No"
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
"I can see why you love this song.", Goliath said with a soft chuckle. "Is it becoming your favorite song?", I asked happily, and Goliath nodded with a affectionate smile.
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
(Now I'm in a whole new world with you)
We then were flying above New York, and we saw the Hudson river, a park, and Downtown New York.
A whole new world (don't you dare close your eyes)
A hundred thousand things to see (hold your breath, it gets better)
I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
As we were flying, I think we passed the X-Mansion, and I think I saw a few of teammates outside, but I think they didn't see us.
A whole new world
With new horizons to pursue
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you.
"We passed the Xavier school. Goliath, did you see it?", I asked curiously. "Briefly. It's a beautiful place.", Goliath rumbled warmly with a nod.
A whole new world (a whole new world)
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us, "No"
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
Then we flew by the castle, and I could see Goliath turn his head away the instant he saw the castle. I felt bad for him as he must still miss his old home.
A whole new world (every turn, a surprise)
With new horizons to pursue (every moment, red-letter)
I'll chase them anywhere, there's time to spare
We then started to head back to the Avengers Tower.
And then we're home (there's time to spare)
Let me share this whole new world with you
We then got back to the tower, and I got off the carpet while I saw Goliath land on the ground.
A whole new world (a whole new world)
That's where we'll be (that's where we'll be)
"That was fun.", I said with a delighted and content grin. "I agree.", Goliath said with a wide smile as he nodded.
A thrilling chase (a wondrous place)
I then hugged Goliath, and he wrapped his wings around me snugly. "I'm glad you're here with me, Goliath.", I whispered softly.
"Like the song says, you have shown me a whole new world.", Goliath rumbled warmly, and I blushed brightly as I hugged him tighter. He purred softly which I was almost surprised to hear, but I was happy that I cheered up Goliath, and vice versa.
For you and me.
As we were hugging, we didn't notice two angry eyes staring at us from afar.
(Erik's P.O.V.)
I saw the whole thing, and I was pissed! I can't wait to make my plan come to life, but I have to be patient because if I'm not, my plan will fail.
"Just you wait, Goliath. I am going to make you regret this.", I spat with a growl. "And Jean shall be mine forever, and you can't stop me!", I snarled lowly.
(Jean's P.O.V.)
2 weeks have passed since that night, and Peter and his sister, Penny started to hang out at the tower. Peter and his sister were both geniuses like Tony and Lexington, and they spent a lot of time in the lab.
Peter and Penny sees Tony as a father figure, and also, Penny has been getting close to Brooklyn, and so has he. I'm wondering if those two would have feelings for each other.
Also, today was the day that I would tell my former teammates from the X-Men about my Gargoyle friends, so Steve told me to wait with Goliath at the top while they introduced the others. So that's what Goliath and I were doing, and we were talking to each other.
"Goliath, I've been wanting to ask, why are you jealous of Elisa and Broadway's relationship?", I asked curiously with a raised eyebrow. "I don't know what you are saying.", Goliath lied with a shake of his head.
"I know you are lying.", I said, giving him a look of 'Don't think you can hide this from me'. Goliath sighed heavily, and looked at me with a conflicted expression.
"Fine, I was jealous...because I wish to love someone again like how I was in love with Demona..before she became this monster.", Goliath confessed softly. I then grabbed his hand, and Goliath smiled gratefully, but we didn't know that there was danger nearby.
